True Story "Purple"
IP: ADEC 56AC
Purple,
that was the color of the wine she drank, the sheets on her bed, the bruise under her left eye and sometimes her dreams. when she wasn't battered she was a pretty woman with curly brown hair and skin the color of a ginger cake. she cried at the slightest provocation which was all the time, so her eyes were very clear and her mouth seemed always to be in the shape of a kiss. she was, even in her most bruised state, beauty unaware of itself. she liked to listen to music late into the night. it made the cheap wine taste better and it sealed her thoughts inside her head. most of what she thought she'd never talk about. crazy thoughts about inventing shit or what life would have been like if her mama hadn't left, if her daddy hadn't stayed. tonight she sat at her kitchen table wearing a slip that had been her grandmother's and drinking her wine and listening to aretha franklin sing dr. feelgood and ain't no way. she lit a cagarette and sang along. around midnight the lights and the music went off. shit, had she forgotten to pay the electric bill? who was she foolin'? she didn't forget. she didn't have $32.19. hell, she didn't have $2.19. how the hell does a woman with skills get in a situation like this? anyway, she'd call her ex tomorrow and get the lights turned back on. she lit some candles and found the little portable radio she kept for earthquakes. the lack of music was starting to mess with her buzz. she danced with herself to some crazy tune that was playin' on the white station. 'round two, with the candles burned down and the batteries in the radio dead, she climbed between her purple sheets and went to sleep. tomorrow her bruise would have faded to green and green required a whole other energy. |
